Stewardship

To be good stewards with our time and talents, we annually donate a portion of our proceeds to someone in need. The 2017 recipient is The Banquet. The Banquet is an ecumenical outreach of Trinity Lutheran Church. It was founded in the Spring of 2005 as a community based organization formed to provide a weekly meal and companionship for individuals in the Bismarck-Mandan area. Through their Christian faith they are making a difference by providing food for the body and the soul. The Banquet serves a FREE meal every Thursday from 5:30pm - 7:00pm to nearly 400 people at Trinity Lutheran Church. It brings people together and allows them to eat a sacred meal at a welcome table as they exchange pieces of their lives with one another. The Banquet welcomes the young, middle-aged, elderly, homeless, lonely and needy. The Banquet is totally dependent on volunteers groups to provide, prepare and serve the meals for this feeding ministry.
"For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Matthew 25:35
"When we give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters or your relatives or your rich neighbor's lest they also invite you in return and you will be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind, and you will be blessed because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." Luke 14:12
